That sounds like a great idea. A new Staples has opened near my residence and I got a $20.00 coupon good this coming Monday only. I'll have to check it out to see if it's good on binding (might as well make this trek as easy as possible!). Thanks for the idea, since I don't really need any other "office" supplies.

Lucky you with the "free" $20 purchase! Don't forget to get the extra paper that you'll need for printing all the PP patterns! And it'd be a good chance to get yourself a set of markers, pencil crayons and/or crayons for quilting, too! Oh I'll soon spend your extra $$ !!! It's always FUN to spend free moo-la!!!!!

Couldn't Wait!

I'm am still not sure what I will do with my finished blocks, but I sure am enjoying doing each one up to now. I have kept to one a week, but think I can more. Have this site bookmarked.... Thanks, Honchey

Hi Wendig, This group is a lively bunch...lots of interaction with each other... the other format is very different...Our block photos are posted with our comments...we don't have to go to another area to look at them. Many of the ladies here have become very close even if we are from different part of the world. Wow! We can consider ourselves an "international group" We really couldn't start earlier...many of us were still working on another project here... it would have been too confusing...for me anyway! Just like me, you will see that you'll find yourself here more than there down the road. I just happen to be partial to this site.

Note: Laurie will be popping in every now and then to see how we are coming along after we are up and running in January, 1012.

Pony Club Fabrics

Well Honchey mentioned showing what fabrics we were going to use for the Pony Club Quilt. Sooooo I am going to do just that. I have been looking for fabric for this quilt since we decided to do it earlier in the year. This is what I have come up with thus far!

Whooooooooooaaaa!!!!!
But I'm not an original .... nor is JanieW ..... nor is SheilaH
Who may become known as the Canadian Trio!
(unless we can gather some extras??)

What I really want to know ... does Honchey have a Reverse-Time Clock?

Leave it to you to catch my typo!!! I had all the right numbers...just sort of switched them around....

I also think I should have posted the announcement in the "Main" section of the Forum....I just PM'd Patrice to see if I can do that.

JeanieG...love your fabrics...so cute!

I've been "gathering" this past week...unfortunately only one piece of fabric from De, also picked up several of the Crayola blank coloring pads. I use this paper for the pping. You'll need 4 sheets for each block. Walmart sells the pads for $1.88 for 60 sheets. I cut it down to the printer paper size. I have 6 more blocks to finish for a boomerang swap, finish attaching binding for 2 jellyroll quilts (xmas gifts) and lastly cut some squares of cotton batting & fabric for microwave bowl holders? I fogot the proper term for them. I'm going to really try to bake some christmas cookies. I won a ribbon for them at the county fair one year and I haven't made them in a long time. The apples for the pie I was going to make for Thanksgiving are still on the dining room table waiting.... Anyone here going to bake for the holidays ? What kind of cookies do you make?
I still have to check in here...no email notices for 2 days.

Riiiiiiight!! ..... and I see that you were sneaky and went back and changed it!
I just thought Santa could talk to you to locate, and get me one of those clocks as an anti-aging tactic for myself!!!

Looks like you have a long list of Christmas gifts to make/finish. Good for you. I have only one to make and am stumped on what to make!

Baking .... 4 Christmas cakes already made (9x13 each) and one almost devoured already!! I start early with the making, so we can start eating it early!!!!!!! and then lets us eat it long into the winter too. New pan of squares tried, that will be tested today at muy first Christmas .... if the get a pass, I'll share the recipe. If not, I'll wish I hadn't told you!! Chocolate Cranberry Squares. I won't do a lot of cookies/squares though, more so on an as needed and if needed basis!

Good idea to get the notice put over onto the Main Board .... I tend not to look on the BOW board and will have to remember to do so every Tuesday now!!! Do hope that you are "granted permission".
